Over 30 years of retirement, Casper would collect as much as $2.16 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Casper received $45,361 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Casper will have already received $140,207 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
